Not only was Yang Bingkuan the old general's subordinate, but he was also the old man's comrade.
Friendship during wartime could not be described with words.
With Yang Bingkuan as his backer, Xu Jianguo was very confident.
The beasts from the Siheyuan didn't even bother with them.
He raised his wine glass and said,"Chiefs, this kid doesn't know how to talk. Here's a toast to you."”
As he spoke, he downed the full glass of wine.
Although it wasn't like the porcelain vats that weighed 500 grams per jar, the wine glass in front of him was at least 300 grams per glass.
Seeing how heroic Xu Jianguo was, the old general clapped his hands and said loudly,
"As expected of the son of a rock. Just like your father, he always drinks until the glass is dry.“
"Chief, you're right. Back then, our regiment and Stone's regiment fought over the main attack mission." Yang Bingkuan laughed.”
"Neither of the two groups was convinced by the other. In the end, they decided to use alcohol tolerance to make a decision.”
"Shi Tou single-handedly took down several of our members, and in the end, he seized the main attack mission.“
Hearing Yang Bingkuan reminisce about the past, the old general sighed.
"I also remember that drinking session. Your regiment commander Chen was carried back by the guards.
It was a pity that Commander Chen was like a rock, unable to live a good life.“
Yang Bingkuan nodded and said," Our regiment's Old Chen and Stone are both good people. They didn't embarrass the old troops or the old chief."”
"Yes, they are all good people. They are my soldiers!”
The old general's eyes were filled with tears.
Seeing this scene, Xu Jianguo hurriedly raised his glass and stood up.
"To my father and Commander Chen, our ancestors. Without them, we wouldn't have the happy life we have now.”
The old general slammed the table when he heard that.
"Jianguo is right. Without the stone, they wouldn't have the life they have now! Let's toast to them together!“
As he spoke, the old general stood up.
Yang Bingkuan's eyes welled up with tears as he thought of the hard times he had gone through. He stood up as well.
The three of them raised their glasses and drank at the same time. Everything was said without a word.
The old general and Yang Bingkuan kept recalling the war years. Xu Jianguo also had a deeper understanding of his deceased father.
At this moment, the young officer walked in.
"Chief, the base called and asked you to go back immediately. The plane is already waiting for you at the southern courtyard.”
The old general froze and stood up to walk out.
He stopped after a few steps and instructed Yang Bingkuan,"Bing Kuan, I'll give Jianguo to you. If something happens to this child, you and I will let Shi Tou down.”
Yang Bingkuan saluted solemnly and said in a clear voice,"I promise to complete the mission."
"Good, as expected of the soldiers I led!”
The old general patted Yang Bingkuan's shoulder heavily and turned to leave.
Only the four Xu siblings and Yang Bingkuan were left in the huge private room.
Yang Bingkuan smiled at Xu Jianguo." Jianguo, your father and I are old comrades-in-arms. I didn't know you were in Beijing all these years and didn't take care of you. Don't blame me."”
" How could I blame Uncle Yang?" Xu Jianguo quickly said." If I knew that my father and you were comrades-in-arms, I would have visited you long ago."”
Yang Bingkuan smiled and nodded. He had a good impression of Xu Jianguo.
"Jianguo, which unit are you currently in? What job?"
Xu Jianguo said,"I'm working as a technician in the rolling mill."“
Yang Bingkuan was surprised.
Xu Jianguo was a child without parents and had never gone to university.
He had become a technician at such a young age without any help at all.
He couldn't help but think highly of Xu Jianguo.
"Jianguo, do you have any ideas about changing your position? For example, helping your Uncle Yang?”
Yang Bingkuan extended an olive branch.
Although he said that he was helping Yang Bingkuan, he actually wanted to promote Xu Jianguo.
Xu Jianguo naturally understood what Yang Bingkuan meant.
However, he knew that the situation would change in a few years. It might not be a good thing to be promoted at this time. He might even be affected.
"Thank you for your recommendation, Uncle Yang, but I still want to work hard on my own."”
After hearing Xu Jianguo's words, Yang Bingkuan was even more surprised and shocked.
This Xu Jianguo in front of him was incredible!
He nodded and said," You're indeed Stone's son. You have such tenacity. Since you want to make a breakthrough yourself, Uncle Yang will fully support you."”
"But if you don't look for Uncle Yang, I'll be angry. Your father will scold me underground!“
"Uncle Yang, there's something I need to trouble you with." Xu Jianguo smiled.”
Yang Bingkuan was very happy to be able to help the son of his old comrade.
"If there's anything, hurry up and tell Uncle Yang."“
Xu Jianguo told her about the investigation by the neighborhood committee and the police today.
At the same time, he emphasized that all his tickets and money came from official channels.
After Yang Bingkuan heard this, he slammed the table.
"Nonsense. How can Stone's son be a thief? Don't worry, I'll call your factory manager now.
You don't have to prove it yourself. I'll prove it for you. I gave you the money and tickets.
Would they catch me as a thief?
Your father fought with us, how can he be bullied by these people?”
Seeing the leader's attitude, Xu Jianguo smiled. From now on, he could spend money without restraint. Let's see who dares to say no!
